After a lovely 13k & then a 10k on the 28th and 30th respectively … came down with a flu - felt better on the 2nd of Jan … so went for a quick 6k … (negative LFTs daily) slower pace as I was still feeling under the weather … then on Monday; the dreaded lack of taste and smell … Oh! No! Please no!
Unfortunately, yes, I have COVID (positive LFT & PCR) … been self isolating since Monday (with my son who also got it … ) and have another 5 days to go … symptoms are fine, just the funky taste and smell …
Hope I can get back to running soon … have been doing 20 minute core and strength in the meantime …
I keep seeing runners pass by my window and I am gripped with envy …
Please stay safe everyone …

Good idea to do the exercises. I never do enough anyway, (perhaps a New Year Resolution is in order! ) but I did do a bit of stretching after the the first week of Covid and then a week of walking most days after isolation to make sure I was OK. Although it sounds as if you did not get the dreaded cough. Don't overdo it - you need to recover fully.
Me too! Started to sniffle last Wednesday, tested positive on Thursday. Omicold symptoms gone by Monday but still testing positive. Started a 3 month home workout programme, so my muscles are complaining, but hopefully first run of 2022 will be on Sunday!
